Описание: Quand la sonnerie a encore retenti, que la porte du box s'est ouverte, c'est le silence de la salle qui est monté vers moi, le silence, et cette singulière sensation que j'ai eue lorsque j'ai constaté que le jeune journaliste avait détourné les yeux. Je n'ai pas regardé du côté de Marie. Je n'en ai pas eu le temps parce que le président m'a dit dans une forme bizarre que j'aurais la tête tranchée sur une place publique au nom du peuple français...

Описание: Es 2666 de Roberto Bolano una novela total? Pueden coexistir fragmentos y totalidades en un mismo libro? Hay una columna vertebral que estructure la multitud de espacios, personajes y temas representados en 2666? Estas y otras preguntas son el objeto de estudio del presente libro, donde la cuestion de la totalidad - concepto omnipresente en los estudios del escritor chileno, si bien poco explorado - es el tema principal.

Описание: Le 04 janvier 1960, Albert Camus s’en allait un peu dans un tragique accident de voiture a l’age de 47 ans. Quatre annees auparavant, il etait l’un des plus jeunes ecrivains a recevoir le prix Nobel de litterature pour toute son ?uvre. L’enfance pauvre a Belcourt, la passion du football, le journalisme a Alger Republicain puis l’exclusion et l’exil par la France de Vichy, Camus sera force de « monter » a Paris. Il rejoindra la Resistance et sera le redacteur en chef de Combat. Romancier, dramaturge, essayiste, Camus sera aussi acteur et metteur en scene. Apres la publication de L’Homme revolte, puis la rupture avec son ami Jean-Paul Sartre, il quittera Combat puis ecrira des articles sur l’Algerie avant de se taire completement, sans neanmoins cesser d’agir en silence. Certainement pas existentialiste, anti-communiste tres tot, il avait ete l’Intellectuel de la periode 45-60 d’apres la liberation, celui dont le nom finira par etre oppose a celui de Sartre. Si Camus est mort jeune, il aura vecu pleinement sa courte vie; et s’il est encore difficile de le categoriser, il reste encore d’actualite, souleve souvent des passions, ne laissant jamais indifferent. Peut-on parler d’un heritage camusien ? Que reste-t-il de son ?uvre en Amerique ? Afin de ne pas oublier cet etranger si familier, pour le cinquantenaire de la mort de Camus, le Bureau du Doyen des Etudes Internationales et le Centre d’Etudes Europeennes de l’Universite du Wisconsin-Madison ont organise du 22 au 24 avril 2010, un symposium Albert Camus, 50 ans apres, autour des trois grands themes suivants: Camus et l’Algerie, Camus et l’exil, Camus et le public. Une quinzaine d’universitaires, de chercheurs, et de professeurs, d’Algerie, de France, du Canada et des Etats-Unis, etaient presents a ces journees dont nous publions les Actes dans cet ouvrage. L’objectif de ce second colloque etait de creer un debat autour de Camus et de sa vision, souvent prophetique, relire ses ecrits litteraires et politiques et voir dans quelle mesure son ?uvre pacifiste, peut etre une source d’inspiration dans les luttes pour la liberte et la democratie, une alternative a la violence et a la terreur qui demeurent aujourd’hui encore, helas tres actuelles.

Описание:

Like many others of my generation, I first read Camus in high school. I carried him in my backpack while traveling across Europe, I carried him into (and out of) relationships, and I carried him into (and out of) difficult periods of my life. More recently, I have carried him into university classes that I have taught, coming out of them with a renewed appreciation of his art. To be sure, my idea of Camus thirty years ago scarcely resembles my idea of him today. While my admiration and attachment to his writings remain as great as they were long ago, the reasons are more complicated and critical.—Robert Zaretsky

On October 16, 1957, Albert Camus was dining in a small restaurant on Paris's Left Bank when a waiter approached him with news: the radio had just announced that Camus had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Camus insisted that a mistake had been made and that others were far more deserving of the honor than he. Yet Camus was already recognized around the world as the voice of a generation—a status he had achieved with dizzying speed. He published his first novel, The Stranger, in 1942 and emerged from the war as the spokesperson for the Resistance and, although he consistently rejected the label, for existentialism. Subsequent works of fiction (including the novels The Plague and The Fall), philosophy (notably, The Myth of Sisyphus and The Rebel), drama, and social criticism secured his literary and intellectual reputation. And then on January 4, 1960, three years after accepting the Nobel Prize, he was killed in a car accident.

In a book distinguished by clarity and passion, Robert Zaretsky considers why Albert Camus mattered in his own lifetime and continues to matter today, focusing on key moments that shaped Camus's development as a writer, a public intellectual, and a man. Each chapter is devoted to a specific event: Camus's visit to Kabylia in 1939 to report on the conditions of the local Berber tribes; his decision in 1945 to sign a petition to commute the death sentence of collaborationist writer Robert Brasillach; his famous quarrel with Jean-Paul Sartre in 1952 over the nature of communism; and his silence about the war in Algeria in 1956.

Both engaged and engaging, Albert Camus: Elements of a Life is a searching companion to a profoundly moral and lucid writer whose works provide a guide for those perplexed by the absurdity of the human condition and the world's resistance to meaning.

Описание: Paul Archambault explores the evolution of Camus' attitude toward Hellenism and Christianity as seen through his writing. The author considers problems as disparate as Camus' use and misuse of Aeschylus and the Presocratics, his ambivalent appraisal of Socrates, the Plotinian nature of his aesthetics, his identification of Christianity with Augustinian theology, and the Gnostic resonance of his characteristic ideas.

Описание: Sur le pont, je passai derrière une forme penchée sur le parapet, et qui semblait regarder le fleuve.De plus près, je distinguai une mince jeune femme, habillée de noir. Entre les cheveux sombres et le col du manteau, on voyait seulement une nuque, fraîche et mouillée, à laquelle je fus sensible. Mais je poursuivis ma route, après une hésitation... J'avais déjà parcouru une cinquantaine de mètres à peu près, lorsque j'entendis le bruit, qui malgré la distance, me parut formidable dans le silence nocturne, d'un corps qui d'abat sur l'eau. Je m'arrêtai net, mais sans me retourner. Presque aussitôt, j'entendis un cri, plusieurs fois répété, qui descendait lui aussi le fleuve, puis s'éteignit brusquement.

Описание: "The Stranger" is a rite of passage for readers around the world. Since its publication in France in 1942, Camus s novel has been translated into sixty languages and sold more than six million copies. It s the rare novel that s as at likely to be found in a teen s backpack as in a graduate philosophy seminar. If the twentieth century produced a novel that could be called ubiquitous, "The Stranger" is it.
How did a young man in his twenties who had never written a novel turn out a masterpiece that still grips readers more than seventy years later? With "Looking for The Stranger ," Alice Kaplan tells that story. In the process, she reveals Camus s achievement to have been even more impressive and more unlikely than even his most devoted readers knew.
Born in poverty in colonial Algeria, Camus started out as a journalist covering the criminal courts. The murder trials he attended, Kaplan shows, would be a major influence on the development and themes of "The Stranger." She follows Camus to France, and, making deft use of his diaries and letters, re-creates his lonely struggle with the novel in Montmartre, where he finally hit upon the unforgettable first-person voice that enabled him to break through and complete "The Stranger."
Even then, the book s publication was far from certain. France was straining under German occupation, Camus s closest mentor was unsure of the book s merit, and Camus himself was suffering from near-fatal tuberculosis. Yet the book did appear, thanks in part to a resourceful publisher, Gaston Gallimard, who was undeterred by paper shortages and Nazi censorship.
The initial critical reception of "The Stranger "was mixed, and it wasn t until after liberation that "The Stranger" began its meteoric rise. As France and the rest of the world began to move out of the shadow of war, Kaplan shows, Camus s book with the help of an aggressive marketing campaign by Knopf for their 1946 publication of the first English translation became a critical and commercial success, and Camus found himself one of the most famous writers in the world. Suddenly, his seemingly modest tale of alienation was being seen for what it really was: a powerful parable of the absurd, an existentialist masterpiece.
Few books inspire devotion and excitement the way "The Stranger" does. And it couldn t have a better biographer than Alice Kaplan, whose books about twentieth-century French culture and history have won her legions of fans. No reader of Camus will want to miss this brilliant exploration.

Описание: Camus ecrit dans ses Carnets : « Nous devons a l’antiquite le peu que nous valons. » En se referant aux vastes lectures et aux nombreux commentaires d’Albert Camus sur les ?uvres philosophiques et litteraires greco-latines et sur la Bible, ce livre entend montrer que l’antiquite constitue pour Camus le sol fertile dans lequel ses forces creatrices s’enracinent, le terreau ou son ?uvre prend corps : plus il s’inspire de l’antiquite, plus son ?uvre devient originale. Une analyse detaillee de ses ?uvres philosophiques (Noces, Le Mythe de Sisyphe, L’Homme Revolte) et litteraires (L’Etranger, L’Exil et le Royaume, La Chute), permet a l’auteur de cet ouvrage de reconsiderer les themes majeurs de la pensee de Camus comme le bonheur, l’absurde et la revolte, et d’apprehender sous un jour nouveau ses grands personnages litteraires, tels Meursault, Caligula, Janine ou Clamence.

Описание:

Over the last two decades, philosophers have been increasingly inclined to consider science fiction films as philosophical exercises that center on the nature of human consciousness and existence. Albert Camus’ philosophy of the absurd, however, has almost never been employed as a constructive perspective that can reveal unexplored aspects of these films. This is surprising, since science fiction films seem to be packed with visions and dialogues that echo the Sisyphean universe.
